20 Years of Asian American Studies at Illinois

“I shall always remember the STUDENTS  who continued to fight for Asian American Studies since 1974 all the way through the struggles of the early to mid-1990s, when the activists would be threatened with disciplinary action.

Finally, the year 1996 saw a turning point. That struggle is what should be celebrated. The university only relented when activism raised the ante.”

- Dr. Joseph T. Miller, Retired LAS Academic Advisor, AAS Founding Council Member
